Collect stickers in Brawl

Today's Smash Bros Brawl update shows off a new collecting element in the game: stickers.

They're easier to get than trophies, you'll earn them as rewards when you play. When you get one, you stick it in your album, like with real stickers. There are no fixed slots so you can place it where you like. Also there's a mode where you can decorate things with stickers.

In the last picture that's Pack E. Derm from Yoshi Story on the car, not a rat.

Really lame thing. But guess it's for the kids, so never mind.

These stickers are really new. There's that Big Brain guy, and the Mario Party 8 die is there too.

Scooby Jew said:

Man, these updates just continue to get better and better. I think this is a really great idea, it gives the game even more depth and allows you to personalize your album very realistically with no limits or borders. It's going to keep this game great longer, though I doubt it'll ever lose its greatness. After all, Melee is still the best game on the Gamecube with no close competition and I still play it on a daily basis.

They never said that there won't be trophies did they?

Captain Jamesman said:

This is nice and all, but can't you still at least get trophies? And are the stickers just for decoration, or can they give a biography like the trophies did?

GiantApe said:

There are going to be trophies in brawl. If you remember the 'this world' update on the website it said, in this world trophies fight.

Nintendoof said:

I think they might have trophies too.

Nintendoof said:

Those stickers are awesome! There's Wario from strikers, Wario's car, a Nintendog, Ike, that spiky annoying thing from Kirby, a pianta, an Earthbound sign, Samurai Goroh, and some LonLon Milk!

Amazon Kevin said:

Most updates make you say, "OMG! This update is tight!" or something. Others make you say, "Wow. This thing is stupid". This update is the second pick for me.

Wii Rox said:

Seems to me that Nintendo could be a little more creative with rewards. To me, one of the best game rewards was the bottlecaps in Resident Evil 4. You could hear a quote from each character in the game. "Hold on Ashley! I'm comin' for ya!" -Leon.

Tommy said:

There are still going to be trophies guys, don't worry.

Jonny B said:

I don't know about the stickers but that fact that you could possibly make your own little FILM is kind of cool but they don't in anyway replace the trophies, are you STOOPID! Remember recent updates of this fighting trophy world, well yeah put 2 and 2 together.

magic hand said:

Now that would be awesome if you could use them to decorate the menu background.

Gonzo said:

How many new things does this freakin thing have! Damn, this game is going to be crazy.

Vanilla Spice said:

Oooh yay looks like my scrapbooking skills will be put to a comedic use *evil laugh*.

DragonFoxCoon said:

Collecting trophies was fun, until I found them all. Hopefully, new stickers will keep coming, so my scrapbook will never completely fill.

Master Foot said:

Trophies feel more tangible, but I guess that this change is for the better.

Quartz said:

So pointless.

Epsilon said:

Wow, just hope they have trophies as well, I like those better.

dragoon3646 said:

Hey scooby jew. You know I play my melee almost every day with my friends still.

Captain Jamesman said:

I perfer trophies out of stickers. But it'd be cool to make certain comics.

divinity boy said:

I think this is useless and boring. You get no satisfaction when you get a sticker (!?) from just playing a level, and personally, spending hours re-arranging stickers just doesn't appeal to me.

smashfreak said:

Oooooh nice stickers.

Viva Las Wii said:

Stickers are NOT replacing trophies, they are simply a new feature. As the page says they are more easy to get than trophies will be.

Viva Las Wii said:

Oh and also, you're able to save the pages you make with your stickers to your Wii, combine that with the photo editor, and you have some serious cartoon making capabilities, do I smell a new channel? Maybe the best toon of the day or something to that tune.

handpuppet said:

I'll make an album full of Ike stickers.

WiiNinja said:

Pichu fan, that's hilarious! The monkey's from DK Junglebeat though.

~ said:

Does this have anything to do with the Photo Channel?

dec3issofaraway said:

Idiots. The post said that the stickers are EASIER to get than trophies. So they have to HAVE trophies to make them easier to get.

smashfanboyXX said:

This will be the best game ever. I have no doubts about it. Oh, and earlier sakurai stated four kinds of control. The wiimote and nunchuck, classic controller, and gamecube controller all have A, B, Y, X and Z buttons. It'll be fun with the stickers and wiimote, considering I have continuous shaking hands disorder. I had trouble with the wiimote the first time I played.

pichu fan said:

I say the trophies are better than the stickers.

master1 said:

With the lon lon milk does it mean young link is coming back?

Scooby Jew said:

Kind of wish people would stop pointing out there's going to be trophies. That's been established, stop reiterating it over and over pointlessly. Thanks.

crystal lucario said:

Dec3issofaraway has a point (and yes it is VERY far away).

WiiNinja said:

Perhaps, at random points through gameplay, the stickers pop out of nowhere like an item. You pick it up and it adds to the "album". In the first picture, it shows Yoshi at Rumble Falls, getting the sticker. It would be totally awesome if you could use the stickers on the Wii Message Board. You know, to email friends and brag about who has better or more stickers than you do. Got to collect 'em all.

i need a wiieww said:

Thing is, I feel as if this is the sort of thing that we all say sucks, but when we get the game, we might think it's pretty good and get stickers like mad, like our trophies in melee. Come to think of it, there's more to do with stickers than trophies, only thing is though, I hope it won't be all put on pages like that, it will be very hard to fond a certain sticker you want to show a friend.

:( said:

They totally should have stuck with trophies.

YoshLee said:

I like this because if there's any stickers I hate (for me anything with pokemon I won't like) can just not include them.

doglover said:

From what I saw in the Fall 2007 Video either they are doing something with trophies, or there is a chess mode on here.

davyt 0247 said:

If you are fearful that the trophies are being replaced, don't worry the trophies are returning.

madden875 said:

There are 700 stickers in the game, but don't worry they're easy to get.
